CLASS OF 19)2 ..IMIIIMMIIIIII............. Hill.IIMIIIIIIIIIIIII.Illlllllll.Illlllll.I. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The class of 1932 initiated, by coordinating the class council and the class meeting, a form of government which is both representative and direct. The purposes of the organization are first, to attend to the details of class business; second, to save time so that major items of class business would be in shape to present at class meetings; third, to make possible a fairer distribution of extra-curricular activities. In order to facilitate appointing members of various committees, the council has issued questionaires, yearly, on which the students could indicate their interests. To distribute activities fairly, the council weighed carefully the opportunities which each student previously had both in school and class activities. However, the class alone, aided by suggestions from the council, has held the power to elect candidates for major positions. The assistance rendered by the council became evident, when late in its sophomore year, the class presented an All-Sophomore” assembly. A sophomore color guard and a sophomore assembly chairman introduced the program which consisted of an inter- esting and suitable variety number, followed by the play, Two Crooks and a Lady”. Tlic enthusiastic reception of this assembly showed that the class had gone a long way in making the school sophomore-conscious. The two big events of our junior year, the Junior Prom and Junior Night, proved to be successful. Pursuing its reputation for originality, the class brought the Prom from the gym to the cafeteria where the gay dancers enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Junior Night” consisted of three plays interspersed with several variety numbers, all of which provided much worth-while entertainment. Seniors! In September the senior girls welcomed the new girls of the school with a party. The Senior Play, The Copperhead”, proved to be a dramatic triumph, while the Senior Banquet brought the class together in the spirit of good fellowship. Again coming to the fore, the girls entertained their mothers at breakfast. Then came Commencement, a glorious ending, and we trust, a grand beginning. Tlie class of ’32 is proud of the fact that, through careful distribution of activities, almost every class member has at some time aided the class. For instance, three hundred and twenty-five students assisted in Junior Night, either on the stage or through the various committees. When The Copperhead” was produced, one hundred and thirty- seven pupils worked to make it a success. For many of us, this is the end of a school career. Approximately twenty per cent of the class will seek further training at the hands of that grand old man. Experience. The plans of these seniors vary all the way from starting at the bottom on Wall Street, to running an independent business. Nevertheless, for nearly eighty per cent of the class, school, and a good deal more of it, lies in the future. Among these seniors, plans range from taking four years of general training in bachelor of arts or bachelor of science courses, to very specialized training for definite vocations and professions. What- ever our plans may be, it is with the deepest affection and gratitude that we bid farewell to Columbia High School, whose traditions we pledge ourselves to uphold always. 15
